On arm64, during kdump kernel saves vmcore, it runs into the following bug:

This bug introduced by commit b261dba2fdb2 ("arm64: kdump: Remove custom
linux,usable-memory-range handling"), which moves
memblock_cap_memory_range() to fdt, but it breaches the rules that
memblock_cap_memory_range() should come after memblock_add() etc as said
in commit e888fa7bb882 ("memblock: Check memory add/cap ordering").

void __init early_init_dt_scan_nodes(void)
{
     //(1) -->early_init_dt_check_for_usable_mem_range, fill cap_mem_addr
        rc = of_scan_flat_dt(early_init_dt_scan_chosen, boot_command_line);

     //(2) --> early_init_dt_add_memory_arch --> memblock_add()
        of_scan_flat_dt(early_init_dt_scan_memory, NULL);

     //(3)
        memblock_cap_memory_range(cap_mem_addr, cap_mem_size);
}

I didn't get it. The above step (1),(2),(3) comply with
commit e888fa7bb882 ("memblock: Check memory add/cap ordering")

Well, at this scope, it does. But from a larger scope, let's say on
arm64,
setup_arch
  ...
  setup_machine_fdt(); //which holds your case
  ...
  efi_init(); //which call memblock_add, and breach the ordering.

Did you see the warning?
pr_warn("%s: No memory registered yet\n", __func__);

Yes, I did see this message, which brings me to commit e888fa7bb882
("memblock: Check memory add/cap ordering")

I am also curious why this bug does not be discovered. Is CONFIG_EFI
on at your case?

Yes, Both X86 and ARM64, CONFIG_EFI=y. I used the defconfig.

Are you booting using EFI though? efi_init() removes all memblocks
that may have been setup from the DT and adds memblocks using the EFI
memory map information.
